Dv6t-6000 QE with 6770 will not post. blank screen

My dv6t froze while playing battlefield 3 and when I tried restarting, it would no longer POST (nothing on screen). When I press the power button, the caps lock LED lights up once, pauses, then lights up again before restarting. I checked the hp website at Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code HP Pavilion dv5000 Notebook PC series - HP Cus... but I am a bit confused as to how many times it actually blinks since my computer doesn't really cycle through the indication multiple times. I tried hard resetting the BIOS by holding the power button for a minute with no AC power and even tried taking out the CMOS battery for about 3 hours to no avail. I have also tried reseating the RAM sticks and using one stick at a time, which didn't work either.
I recorded a video of the LED error code: Dv6t black screen - YouTube
The caps lock key lights up once 2 or 3 seconds after pressing the power button and then pauses for two seconds before lighting up again. After that the computer restarts right away. However, after the restart it does different things each time. Sometimes the light would light up and sometimes it wouldn't. By the way the computer is restarting itself whenever the touchpad light goes out and comes on again.
WIth the problem that the laptop is having, I am guessing its most likely a motherboard issue since the CPU isn't very likely to fail. But because I am 2 weeks out of warranty, I guess I don't really have any options but to fix it myself.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

GOOD NEWS, i've seen this alot. A blink code that doesn't really match the pattern is actually a single blink code.
BAD NEWS, despite unlikelyhoood is indeed a CPU failure. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this. it IS a CPU failure.
What you can do.
Since replacing this means replacing the systemboard (yes thats what it means). It's going to be expensive.
Are you POSITIVE your warranty is out? Some of these series have 2 year warranties instead of 1. Make sure you have the purchase date right, as thats how it goes by, purchase date. Even if HP has the wrong date you can despute it if you have the documentation. I suggest this because as I said...this repair's gonna cost you otherwise, so if it's free...try to get it free.
Otherwise you might (this is a big might) be able to find a small 3rd party mom and pop computer shop (Think "Bob's Speedy Computers") with the balls to open your case and might have a replacement processor or can install one if you can find it by itself.
Otherwise just buy a new notebook.
Probably not the best news but i've seen this before, and saw no one else hit with a reply

Some videos will not play (blank screen).

Some of my videos will not play. I select the video and a "Play" arrow shows in the upper left portion of the screen, but the screen is dark (blank). I can press Menu and return.
I don't believe it's a size issue because certain other larger videos do play. Nor do I think it's a format issue because all of the videos are the same format (*.m4v). It also doesn't appear to be a time/sync issue because some videos added after others do play and some don't.
I really don't have a problem reformatting and starting over if that is the best or only solution as I only use iTunes and don't have calendar, notes, etc.
Thanks in advance.
iTunes Ver 10.5.1.42

Where are these from? Are they from the iTunes Store or where they downloaded elsewhere and then added to your library? Perhaps you can try restoring your iPod to factory settings and then resyncing the videos back over to it.
If the videos are not from iTunes, perhaps you can try and re-convert them using a third party utility such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip.

Project will not open. blank screen after load

I have a pretty major issue, I just finished a rough cut of a feature film and I decided to change my hard drive drive letters so they were more organized. Now premiere pro 2014 (up to date version) will not open the project properly.
The file loads then it says looking for media then that goes away and it sits at a blank screen forever.

Facetime will not work, blank screen

I just got the new iphone 4. Facetime will not run on it. OS is updated, phone is not jailbroken. Every time I try to make a call via facetime, I can see myself in the little box in the corner, but there is no picture on the rest of the screen. It's blank. On the other side of the call, my friends can see one frozen frame of me but no video or audio. After 30 seconds the phone says 'call failed.' The worst part is that every time I try to make a call to someone, facetime freezes my internet. I've never had internet problems before, but now, if I try to put a call through facetime, I lose all internet signal and have to reset the router to get internet back on in the house. Any ideas? Or should I simply take the phone back?

Click on the link provided by stedman1 and follow the troubleshooting steps there.
You can also try to Reset Network Settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
You can also try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears. Once the Home screen redisplays, make sure your Wifi is on, and try again.

K7n2 Delta-6570 Will Not Post

I have k7n2 delta L --6570--amdxp-2500-512 mb pc3200 ram. powmax 400w power .ati 9600 all in wonder. I swapped all parts to a better case to fit a certain location and the system will not post at all. the diagnostic d-bracket has number 1 and 4 in red while 2 and 3 are green. the book only tells me that the processor is initializing with a note saying this will show information regarding the processor (like brand name, system bus. etc. but nothing will show on the monitor. everything was working fine before the swap. i have checked everything i can think of. i would appreciate some advise. sorry if i haven't posted all the proper requrements and spec's. thanks. paul k.

i reset the memory and cpu and video card. i think i disconnected everything in the case a couple of times to make sure it wasn't a simple blunder. nothing! i have a friend that wants to try look at it i may do that. also tomorrow i will try to post all my info like the rest of you guys have done. i'll give it a try anyway. also i done the other things you mentioned, i forgot what the questions were. you can't see the post info that i am replying to keep checking so i can answer properly and i forget things.

Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7. It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified

Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7. It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified.I
I have tried unistalling the current version I had which was 10.6.3, defragging and running a security scan. Now, the highest version I can get is 10.4.1. for some reason I cannot dowload itunes 10.5 or higher as it gives me the same message which is what I need to connect and update my iphone. Anyone facing the same issue or can point me in the right direction?

You may get better information on that error message by reposting in the iPhone forums:
iPhone
It's also possible that newer iPhone updates want an OS higher than Tiger. Post the specs of your computer and we can see if an OS upgrade is possible. There are a large number of G4 variants with different capabilities, so giving us something more than just "G4" will get you help faster.

K8T Master2-Far Will not POST unless CMOS is freshly cleared!

Hey all, thanks for helping out.
I came back to my computer one day to find it in a coma. The system was on, but the screen was getting no signal and would not come on by moving the mouse/keyboard like usual. I thought that maybe it had turned off the monitor for power save and then frooze some how. After restarting the computer I found that it was still doing the same thing. I shut down the system and unpluged. After waiting about 5 min i plugged back in and flipped the switch on the powersupply. This started the computer right up (even though i had not pushed th power button) and left it in the same condition as before. It simply would not post. After closer inspection I found that it was not posting because it wasn't getting far enough in the process before it was being restarted. I checked the restart button and even went as far as removing it from the motherboard. This did not help. I knew it was restarting because i could see it checking the optical drives then waiting for about 4 seconds, then a weird noise from the speakers (like a soft cruching so to speak) would happen, then it would do this all over again, non stop. That noise was familliar though, it was the normal noise that I hear when I push the restart button (I'm guessing a release of electricity etc..) so I knew what was going on.
After switching the memory out and in all orders, I stripped the system down to the bare min. This however did not change anything. I put the system back together and flashed the cmos. This made the system restart once, then "BEEP" it posted. It said CMOS Checksome Error - Defaults Loaded. I first pushed DEL to get into the bios. I changed everything back to how its suppost to be (time, apature, etc...) then saved and exited. This made the system go back into its restarting state. I then flashed the cmos again and pushed F1 to continue. The system booted up just fine. In safemode of course. Then i restarted. It then went back into its restarting state. I flashed the bios again. And after pushing F1 to continue selected it to go into windows normally. Everytime it does this it gets different results. One time it got past the windows xp loading screen and sat at the black screen before you get your curser and welcome screen (sigh... restart... flash..). It also once got in just fine, and after about 5 min got a blue screen about "bad pool caller". It most the time however gets a random blue screen right after you see the welcome screen. These blue screens consist of "bad pool caller", "IRQ Equal or Lesser Value", or No notes, just generic blue screen.
If i change anything in my bios it will not post. If i dont flash the cmos, it will not post. If i dont change anything in bios and continue, then restart, it will not post. The only way for it to post and for me to see anything on the screen is to flash the cmos. I thought it might be the power supply, but the only extra i have does not have the extra plug to power the 2nd cpu. After thinking about it though. I dont know if it could be a power supply issue, if it was then would it even load up into safe mode? Or why would it not load up into safe mode again after restarting. I have tried an extra stick of memory that i know works in a separate computer, but nothing changed. I have tried a different videocard... nothing changed. I have removed everthing accept the basics (motherboard, cpu's,videocard,memory,psu) and nothing changed.
I have worked on this for about 1 week now and can not figure it out. I have my useless MCSE/CSE/A+ certifications (I say useless because I dont have a job that uses them) but this one is beyond me. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Brandon
P.S. I dont know if this is related, but I did have to change from useing the DVI connection to RGB plug to even see anything once I heard it post. I was useing DVI before, and once i figured out that it would post after flashing cmos, I had to change to RGB to get any visual. The DVI will not work now at all. I have even tried changing cords. The DVI wont work in safemode either. Thanks

I reckon these mobos have a fault that really needs to be sorted. You say that your PC was working fine using PC 3200 memory with 240's. I have a similliar problem, I am using 246's with Kingston' PC3200 KVR333X72RC25/512D 2.5 ECC REG. The PC worked fine for about two weeks and then one day went on a blink, every time I power it up all I get is beeps. I was forced to order new BIOS, which didn't work everything else has been tested and works fine.
So I ordered micron memory 2X512 PC 2100 266 ECC REG which I was told by the supplier that it was compartible, that didn't work either. I then went on to check the battery, to my surprise the battery was low so I thought I had nailed it, went out bought a new battery but the problem still exits. I must say though after installing the micron memory it did boot up but when I went into BIOS to change settings to boot fro CDROM the damn thing would not restart I had to switch it off using the power button to restart it and when it restarted all i got was beeps. After that to get it to bootup I have to reset CMOS using the jumper and when it boots up it gives a checksum error message. I have a choice of two at this stage
(1) To Press F1
(2) To Press delete o go into BIOS setup
The F1 option takes me as far as the windows log on screen and that's it cuts off as if it is gonna boot itself backup but just hangs there.
The Delete option takes into BIOS which when exited the PC does nothing until powered down and powered up again, from here I have to reset CMOS to get it to bootup.
I have been told that the kingston memory is not compatible but my question is how did it work the first two weeks?
Good ol' Bas have helped out on this one quite often but here I am three months on still in a struggle. I thought of RMAing the board but it would cost me about 160 pounds and with that kind of money I could pick up another boad from kompllete.com and remain with some change for a couple of buds.
"To bass You said in the last post that the poblem could be the power supply changed it but that has not solved my problem"

In need of some help :( p55 big bang fuzion will not post

For some reason my system will not post. i switch my system on and everything on the board lights up all the drives spin up, gpu spins up, but it will still not post iv checked the gpu and it dose work fine, iv checked the ram to find out that one of my ram sticks has gone. iv tired booting with the stick that works with no luck neither.
would really like some advice please
My Current System is : i7 875k [email protected] GHz,on OC Genie- - P55 Big Bang-Fuzion (MS-7582)- -BIOS v1.5 --CORSAIR CMT4GX3M2A2133C9 4GB 2133MHz, 9-10-9-27, 1.65V, with Intel XMP -- NSI R5850 Twin Frozr II-- Real Power M520, with two WD Caviar Black 500 GB SATA Hard Drives ( WD5001AALS) in Raid 0

like Xmad said get a good 600W PSU from a trusted manufacturer of a single +12V kind. split rails are only good when there very high ampage ones (over 30A per rail) and the single rail ones are a better pick all-round!
and like Xmad also pointed out id also recomend a Corsair or seatronic unit of 600W or more!
it doesn't matter how the power went out as any thing that pulls over the load a PSU can supply will fead back and cause damage to the PSU itself!
alot of PSU makers cannot be trusted much as they put lables on the psu that are no where neer the real units performance level as they use a bench version that have uprated VRM's and bigger heatsinks and high end refrigerated coolers to stop them overloading thats totally un-realistic!

HP Pavilion dv7 1070us will not POST

Model: HP Pavilion dv7 1070us
System will not POST after replacing FAN.
I first replaced the FAN, then after re-assembling the unit resulting in:
Black screen,
CAPS-LOCK white LED continuous 1 second blink,
F12-WIFI amber LED solid ON,
The FAN comes on, then stops for a few seconds then restarts and stays on;
I thought this indicated that the CPU was running.
I did all the normal tricks:
RAM in-out various combinations,
CMOS battery removal.
Power adapter and Battery removal combinations.
Hard Reset by holding power button for 15-30 seconds w/o battery or PS attached.
remove un-necessary devices: HD, wi-fi, DVD, etc
Still does not work.
So I figured the Video portion of the CPU was bad.
I then ordered and replaced the AMD A10 4600m CPU.
Re-assembled the machine and still the same symptoms.
I guess the CPU was not bad.
I give up.
How could HP release a machine that does not POST when the main pieces are good:
Motherboard,
CPU,
RAM
Power.
I did not buy a new CMOS battery. Can't imagine that would keep it from POST'ing.
Any help ???? Otherwise went from working to JUNK.
A thought: Laptops are not worth the money you pay if they only last a few years.

Adobe Acrobat package built with CCP will not completely install

Adobe Acrobat package built with CCP will not completely install. It starts out fine as if it is installing then suddenly disappears with no errors.   I am installing it under the local administrator account and simply double clicking on the setup.exe created in the build folder. Am I missing something??

Hi rivera2u & TRU Software,
I believe you are just double clicking on the Exception Deployer and not running the same from the command prompt . Mentioned below is the syntax that we need to use while using Exception Deployer on your machine(s).
ExceptionDeployer
    --workflow=install
    --mode=pre|post
    --INSTALLDIR=<path_of_installation directory>
    --installLanguage=<locale_code for Acrobat>

The same is mentioned in the link shared by Abhijit earlier.
Please do let us know if this works for you or not.

3 ea MSI K8N Diamond Plus will not POST

I have 3 K8N Diamond Plus motherboards that recently started having intermittent problems POSTing to BIOS. I initially found it possible to boot by clearing CMOS and reentering my settings; however, over time these boards have gotten to where they will not POST at all. Power comes up, but the four-LED diagnostic display stays continuously red, indicating no BIOS activity. Ideally, I'd like to get my hands on a service manual for this board, but if anyone can throw out common issues with this board as a starting point, that would be great. All of these boards have been in service for more than 3 years in 3 different machines. The failure appears to have identical symptoms. I would bet the component that has failed is common to all 3 boards. It seems other people are having the very same problem with these boards over several years of service. I have tried all of the usual troubleshooting tactics with no success. Thanks!

Check for bulging, leaking, ruptured capacitors near CPU socket.

P6N Diamond will not post

I noticed that my PSU was going bad about 2 weeks ago. I had a 680w installed and I replaced it with a 750w. The PC booted into windows on the first power up. Then after about 2mins it rebooted on it's own and now it won't post. Everything seems to be working. I'm leaning towards a bad mobo but I don't want to give up on maybe something being knocked loose. Do you guys have any idea as to what could possibly be disconnected and cause these issues.
- Will not post
- No video
- Keyboard won't power up

OK, upon further inspection, it looks like the system is booting the HD, Optical Drives, and Video Card. I'm not getting any system beeps. There is no video being displayed and my keyboard is not booting (logitech G5, old style with flip up LCD display). My on-board sound seems to be booting as well (I can here a boom from the Sub, that is normal operation). Things I've tried
- Clear CMOS
- Mobo has a quick reset button for it and I removed the battery
- Moved the Video Card to all 4 PCI-E slots
- The fan spins up in every slot
- The video card is also knew, about 4 months old
- Triple checked that all the SW were wired up correctly
- Triple checked that the PSU is all plugged in to everything correctly
- Decreased the load on the PSU by disconnecting the fans, 1 of the 2 optical drives, and all of the case lighting

G31M3 will not POST

MS G31M3 (MS-7528 Ver 1.0)
Intel Core2 Quad
2X1Gb Geil RAM
1X HDD
1X DVD R/W
400w PSU
MS Windows XP Pro
The PC has been gradually getting harder to start. Some times it takes up to fifteen attempts before anything appears on screen. Now the machine will not POST, the CPU fan spins but their is no display, and no beeps. Also the power and hard drive LED's are not illuminated.
Testing so far:
Swapped the PSU for a known working model - no change
Swapped RAM - no change
Disconnect HDD, DVD drive, external USB and audio connectors - no change
Removed the BIOS battery and re-set the CMOS - no change
I have also removed the motherboard from the case and placed it on an anti static mat with just the PSU, RAM & monitor attached - no change.
NO capacitors appear to be 'bulging'
Is the fact that the machine will not POST or show any display or show anything on the power and HDD LED's symptomatic of an on-board power distribution (blown voltage regulator) problem? the only thing that I have not been able to replace in the CPU, could this (if faulty) cause the kind of problems described?
I think the board is toast opinions please.

Quote from: P Skinner on 03-November-11, 18:47:57
Installed: Right-Tec P4-400W +12v=20A (when installed in my bench test PC the machine boots OK)
Testing: Win Power ATX 350 +12v=15A
When I removed the CPU HSF I found this:
Not very happy. This board is only just two years old.
